The Scots developed golf to irk common loch pests such as merats, locharoaches, and Nessie, who to this day rarely surfaces for fear of being beaned by a well-aimed ball. Brush up your monster-vexing skills with today's Groupon: for $39, you get 18 holes of golf and a cart (up to a $77.50 value for non-residents) at Old Orchard Country Club in Mount Prospect. This Groupon is good for any day and time.
Old Orchard Country Club is committed to offering to the public the experience and beautifully maintained grounds of a country club. The gorgeous par 70 course for men and par 72 course for ladies gives swingers challenging yet playable terrain with narrow fairways, rolling inclines, and lukewarm snow hazards. Set atop a luxurious bed of blue grass, the course forces players to use their entire bag of clubs in order to get the ball from not being in the hole to being in the hole. Today's deal includes a cart to help golf-goers save their legs for running inside giant hamster balls instead. Call ahead to schedule a tee time.

Groupon Says
It's a Grand Old Flag
On Flag Day, it's important to honor the stars and stripes and to remember what they stand for: our hardworking American-flag makers. Here's what each element of the flag represents:
- The 50 stars represent the approximate number of stars in the night sky.
- The seven red stripes represent the seven different blood types of the Founding Fathers.
- The six white stripes used to represent liberty, but thanks to an exclusive licensing deal between the U.S. government and Proctor & Gamble, they now represent Crest Whitestrips, America's fastest-acting teeth-whitening strips.
- The whale wearing a top hat that appears in the upper-right-hand corner of the flag represents our national motto, "USA—A Whale of a Country!"
- The blue rectangle housing the stars represents America's favorite color: green.
